Hmm. actually it does know what to look for, the script gets called with %o %a %S args. from here http://bacula.org/rel-manual/Autochanger_Support.html#SECTION000296000000000000000 you find that: %o = command (loaded, load, or unload) %a = archive device name %S = Slot base 1 this clears the mystery for your last suggestion.
